The captioning or description may in fact be a video track with sign language or a talking head for speech readers. The language should talk about control over selection of all available information; illustrations can be in terms of specific media such as text subtitles for video-encoded movies, but the logic is symmetrical across all sorts of media combinations. Don't imply media limitations in the general statement. Even where TVontheWeb shows Rob Neff's seminar one has a choice of video tailored to your modem speed. Al
